The most annoying part, in my opinion, is when the game isn't actually like the games it mentions.
"You need to survive and also build a base" does not make a game the same thing as Valheim.
"There are dragons" does not make a game Skyrim.
"Contains an elf" doesn't make a game BG3.

I think it's fine as long as it makes sense. "X meets Y" can summarize a whole selling pitch and readers will instantly know if they're interested or not. At some point it even became genre names like "souls-like" or "metroidvania", you instantly know what you're in for.
You can't explain a game in the post's title so a ton of people won't even bother looking at it if you don't do this.
